Good To Be Back

After 4 weeks it was good to settle back into our small group meetings – great to see all the guys. Everyone seemed to miss it and we are all ready to get back to it. We’re working through Purpose Driven Life the next six weeks. Thought it would be a good connection to the heart of the Nativity environment and a good set up for the fall. And it certainly is a conversation starter!
What if you don’t believe in eternity? Doesn’t our purpose change at different seasons of our life? Is anyone else struggling with this purpose thing as much as I am – seems like I’ve been asking that question for years? Is salvation possible without a relationship with Jesus Christ – what about Ghandi? Isn’t life tiresome or uncontrollable at times even if you’re clear about your purpose?
One of the things I like about my group is that we have become comfortable with raising questions and not feeling like we have to wrestle the answers to the ground each week. All those are tough questions each in their own way. In the absence of answers, we prayed together. I’m looking forward to the next five week. Good to be back.
